Injuries  A brief look at players who have been missing time with minor ailments and their expected returns

Day-to-Day (includes players expected to make their return from the DL)Adam Jones, OF, BAL  (Thumb) Remains sidelined and is undergoing an MRI on his thumb Saturday.Jed Lowrie, SS, BOS  (Shoulder) Took batting practice Friday and is nearing a return. Robinson Cano, 2B, NYY  (Foot) Returned to the lineup Friday.Carlos Quentin, OF, CHW  (Shoulder) Has not started a game since returning from the DL. Joakim Soria, RP, KC  (Hamstring) Unlikely to pitch this weekend. Yunel Escobar, SS, TOR  (Elbow) Remains sidelined with an elbow injury. Tim Stauffer, SP, SD  (Arm) Left his Friday start with stiffness in his right arm.

Players on the DLClay Buchholz, SP, BOS  (Back) Improving in his rehab, but he remains far away from contributing. J.D. Drew, OF, BOS  (Finger) His body is conspiring against him. He went on the DL with a shoulder issue, broke his finger, and is now having neck problems. One might think hes a sadist considering his talent for being injured throughout his career. Tsuyoshi Nishioka, SS, MIN  (Oblique) Hes been shut down for the rest of the season. Jason Kubel, OF, MIN  (Foot) Aggravated his left foot injury Friday and may not play again this season. Justin Morneau, 1B, MIN  (Concussion/Illness) Unlikely to play again this season as his concussion symptoms persist. James Darnell, 3B, SD  (Shoulder) Dislocated his shoulder Friday and will not play again this season.Tommy Hanson, SP, ATL  (Shoulder) Will make a rehab start in the Braves instructional league this week.
George Sherill, RP, ATL  (Elbow) Status for the postseason is in question.

Transactions  Players who have been demoted, called up, traded, released, you name it. We'll cover it here.

Andres Torres, OF, SF  This would be a speculative add, but with Cody Ross (hamstring) out for the next week or so, Torres could get a good stack of starts for the coming week. If youre in an NL-only league and need to take a risk on someone who might be able to at least provide a live bat in the coming week, Torres could be your guy. I would also recommend looking at Casper Wells in AL-only leagues. For mixed leagues, Colby Rasmus might be available. He was activated from the DL Friday.

As a reminder, the competition will be an MLB Salary Cap league where values for each player are set based on projected fantasy value each day and your mission is to find the bargains and make the best 14 player team possible within the $100,000 budget.
